I thought grayrest might be right. So I tried it. Used the thermal clip and scope mods, and as some were saying, aimed from the hip instead of aiming down the sight.
Bronze, vs. geth troopers. Pathetic. Just pathetic. It felt like the N7 Candy Cane was spraying cotton balls. I had to get right in something's face to hurt it, and even then it took awhile.
It's not that I can't shoot. I'm good with the geth pulse rifle, raptor, carnifex... lots of headshots, plenty of deaths. But this thing kicks like a mule. Anyone who says it's good or they're good with it must be either kidding themselves or just outright lying. I never believed those guys who boasted they could kill someone with a handkerchief either.
If anyone thinks I just can't aim--prove it with a VIDEO. Solo bronze for us and show us how much this gun supposedly owns. Stop with the smug, juvenile self-congratulation some proponents of the gun have been displaying, stop with the proclamations of how we suck and you rock and put your money where your mouth is. Make a VIDEO guide to kicking ass with the Hurricane, including your character and its build as well as showing us you have no special one-use equipment mods applied, just the normal SMG mods installed into the gun, and show us which ones.
Otherwise, I'm going to continue believing that this gun is a complete piece of crap, because I have tested it and I know what I saw.
I can't post a video since I lack the equipment, but I didn't have any problem shredding bronze guys with it. But then, I would have shredded them FASTER with a different gun, and on Gold it took me a silly amount of time to put down a mere Centurion that was stasised at point blank range with all shots hitting.
A quick test on bronze had me easily soloing everything, but on the other hand, it was BRONZE.
Edit: Just did a quick test on Silver, and it definitely shreds on Silver too. No offense, but you might actually just have trouble aiming if you're not able to get it to work on Bronze. I still am underwhelmed by this gun. Using a heavy pistol I was able to achieve similar results on Gold at close range, but without the limitation of needing to be in close range.
Note: I tested with an Asari Vanguard with no special equipment, weapon and headshot bonuses in training, and Stasis Bubble. I only used the stasis bubble once, (to test the full damage potential of the weapon and make sure I was not actually missing). I then proceeded to solo the first two waves of Gold using only the Biotic Charge and the Hurricane SMG, and I was extremely disappointed. Firing at point blank range, I killed things more slowly than I did when I had a Carnifex as a sidearm (which always took 1-2 shots to the body on a trooper after hitting with biotic charge, whereas the tempest used up many bullets).
In summary, I was hitting and killing with the Hurricane, but I didn't see why I should use it over alternative weapons, except perhaps that it's an Ultralight Materials candidate.
However, I did my tests without ammo bonuses. Maybe a different ammo type would make it more useful?

Real controlled tests, not "oh it feels like this or this". Count the bullets. Pull out stopwatches.
